Good quick food, ice cream, and drinks. The pumpkin patch was the highlight for our family. You are taken to it on a hay wagon, and are able to roam through a big field of multiple varieties of pumpkins on the vine. The prices are low in my opinion, $1-$5 ish depending on size. Super nice and helpful staff, and many activities. We drove from Blue Ridge, which made for a beautiful scenic drive along Ocoee River. We will make this trip again.

Absolutely LOVE this place! If you are looking for a place that your kids can play outdoors (and…read morehave a blast)with beautiful scenery and wonderful, friendly staff then this is it. We love going here every year, it's a highlight for my kids, my youngest constantly talks about going back ALL year long. There are tons of activities for the whole family, great food (especially the homemade icecream) and they are continuously making improvements. We love the great opportunities for pictures, and they even have a Sunflower field(when in season) where you can have pictures made. We highly recommend this place and look forward every year to returning. You have to remember you're also supporting a local, beautiful family who truly care about your experience and are always willing to listen and accommodate. We HIGHLY recommend!!

There are bathrooms and a large parking lot. It cost $3 a day to park at this park. There is a long trail along the side of the river that leads you to many opportunities to swim in this stunning "blue holes" we walked along the trail for about 20 minutes and got in the water at several locations. The further back you go the less people to share the swimming holes with. We found a private area and enjoyed. We brought bathing suits, a dry bag, water, sun block and water shoes. The rocks are slippery even with water shows so be careful! An amazing natural wonder worth visiting. Great for couples or couples with children. I highly recommend a visit if you are within an hour or two of this area.

My husband is obsessed with trains, so when you vacation in Chattanooga- trains seem to be infused…read moreinto the vacation time! If the all day trip had been available- we would have done that too! The Hiawassee River loop was fantastic. You arrive in a field and park and wait for the train to arrive, seems kinda odd- but I'm guessing it saves the small town a lot of hassle. John went all in and got the dome car, upper deck seating- which means glass curved windows and glass dome ceiling. Panoramic views. We were car five- back of the bus. Our all in tickets also gave us snacks, snacks and more snacks- and soda, water, coffee and hot chocolate. We boarded and had about 30 minutes till departure and familiarized ourselves with the brochure, got some (you guessed it) snacks and found restrooms. Then the train horns sounded and we were OFF! I was excited to go through the small town of Reliance- where my sister's family has property and I vacationed with her years ago and white water kayaked on the Hiawassee River! We even passed the rafting outpost! We chugged along, the tracks following the river, saw a couple water falls cascading down rock faces, plenty of foliage (although the storm had downed most of the leaves) and just fantastic views. I took entirely too many photos. There was also the great opportunity to peek out the vestibule windows!!! AKA Selfie hanging out the window of a train kinda like a happy puppy! And- there were 2 next to each other- which provided an excellent photo op with John! Grinning like felons! The tour included plenty of local history and interesting railroad facts. Plus all the information on each of the 5 passenger cars. The loop has railroad trestle that we go under and then on and the same railroad track runs parallel to itself for about a 1/4 mile as it goes around the mountain and up. Once at the top, the engine unhooks and goes on a side track to rehook to train car #5 and just like, we were at the front of the train! While the engine is moving- our seats were flipped to face the correct direction. Very cool! Same scenery on the way back, naturally. We even were treated some good ole fashioned pickin~ bluegrass treat, a banjo playing conductor! I simply cannot recommend them enough!!! If you are planning a trip- please include them in your adventures!

The woman helping us behind the counter was also a complete sweetheart and made us feel very welcome. Unfortunately... then I drank the wine. I don't know what a muscadine grape is, but I feel strongly that someone should have stopped this experiment years ago. Whoever first looked at a muscadine grape and thought, "Let's make wine out of that," owes the rest of us an apology. If you've ever wondered what it would taste like to drop a penny into a steel vat full of vinegar and then bottle the result... congratulations, you've already experienced muscadine wine. Maybe it's an acquired taste. Maybe I'm not sophisticated enough to appreciate it. Maybe Stockholm Syndrome eventually kicks in after your third glass. All I know is I've had wine in Napa, wine in Europe, wine from grocery stores, and wine poured from boxes... and I would choose every single one of them before another glass of muscadine. The property is beautiful. The people are lovely. The wine and I have irreconcilable differences.

I got there a little early, I was first person there. Had great chat with the flag man, 88 years…read moreold, retired from the railroad in 1999 snd been volunteering here since then. Started railroad on this and other lines when they were working railroads at 28 years of age. He had a lot of stories and railroad history about this area and others. I took the Hiwassee Loop trip. Most of the workers on the train, conductors and hosts were all retired railroad workers. The engineer was retired United Airlines pilot who got his train engineer license after he retired. Excellent historic narration along the way. I cannot recommend this trip enough. 4.5 hours up Bald Mountain along the Hiwassee River. But, again, best part was my 45 minute conversation with the 88 year old flagman.

There's a visitor's center, many miles of hiking, picnic areas, primitive camping, fishing, boating, and canoeing. We arrived and went white water rafting with a third party on the rapids. These rivers were the site of the Olympic water sports in 1996. We then went to the visitors' center, and then drove around the campground, then the scenic byway to some gorgeous overlooks. Definitely stunning and worth the visit. I wanted to do a little hike while I dried off from the rafting, but there wasn't really a clear map of the trails in the area with the mileage and difficulty like at every other park we've been to. Other than that, we really enjoyed out time here.

We sampled several wines and were pleasantly surprised at how good they were. My friend chose the Moussaka for her meal, while I selected the Lemon Grilled Chicken. Both were excellent! We were a little confused initially because you order both food & wine at the counter, then food is delivered to your table. It was a little congested with people not understanding the process. Overall a fun experience, and I'm sure we'll be back!

Punkins were 50c/lb and little gourds $1. It's not as crowded, nor as "corporate" feeling as other farms. The corn maze was relaxing vs frustrating. My favorite parts were the friendly donkeys and the corn pits. If you've never kicked your shoes off and laid down in a corn pit and "buried" a friend or your own legs or lap, it's amazing! From one year to the next, it's obvious that they've been adding and improving the area and the activities. I'd bring kids here, ours love it, and honestly I'd come here on a fun little date. It's quaint, honest, and like our modern version of a fall harvest gathering. Very very cool.

We liked coming here overall and would definitely recommend it!

I would recommend the younger kids might need to have a parent with them because the waves get really high & hard! The slide is super fun & smooth so it doesn't hurt, but at the end you will more than likely have a wedgy! The view is amazing & so pretty! At night you can see the stars perfectly clearly & they are beautiful! This was a very nice place.
